Where do You turn for Workout Motivation?
Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Hey and Happy Friday!
Ok, here in Ohio it has been raining for some time and it is dark and gloomy. I don’t know about you but for me it is very hard to get my workouts in sometimes with bad weather… it just seems to have such an impact on me.
So, how do you motivate yourself and find inspiration when it is so easy to rationalize your way out of it?
Well, here is a list of some of the things I do to stay motivated and get my workouts in:
1. Watch a motivating YouTube video (like the one I posted below).2. Look at a picture of a physique I want to have
3. Look at a picture of a physique I do NOT want to have
4. Read Motivating Quotes
5. Read the goals I have written down (yes, you should have your goals written down)
6. Stop thinking about my workout and just get in my car and go without any thought whatsoever.
7. I tell myself that I will just do a very short workout so that at the very least I get something done. However, once I get to the gym and get going I always end up doing the whole thing.
Those are just some of the things I do to force the issue a little. If you have any you would like to add let me know.
Check out the video below by Les Brown, he is an amazing motivational speaker and always brings me out of a FUNK that I may be in. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and that it inspires you to continue to strive to achieve all that you are capable of.
I probably watch this video at least once every week and I encourage you to find something that will work for you so you can use as your go to when the mood calls.

Weight Loss Motivation…You Gotta Believe!
Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Have you ever watched a season opener of the show “The Biggest Loser?” If so, then you have probably noticed how excited all of the contestants are as they make their arrival to the house. As they speak to the camera you can see it in their face and hear it in their voice that they truly believe they are about to change their life forever.
Why all of a sudden do they believe this? After all they are there because they have failed every single time they have tried to lose weight in the past and have spent boatloads of money on trends and gizmo’s that have failed them time and time again. However, this will be different…this time it is real…this time it will work.
The fact is that they know it is real this time because they have watched the show and know full well what all the other contestents have accomplished and can’t wait to experience the same results or even a fraction of those results.
But it doesn’t come easy for them now does it…they all go through intense agony and emotional pain along the way as thier lives are changed forever for the better.
Well, that is no different then any other real fat loss training program. It takes hard work, determination, consistency, motivation, encouragement and accountability.
Unfortunately, not everyone can get on the show so you will need to face your next program the same way they do and that is with intense desire and belief that you will do whatever it takes to accomplish your fat loss goals and change your life forever.
